Saints Travel to SWIDac

Game 15: 3 May, at SWIDac vs. BV Northwest on Murphy Night (4-0)

This match was a lot closer than 4-0. In fact, Nicole McEnroe had to make quite a few saves, a few spectacular, in the second half. BTW, she was the BWhite player of the Match.

We proved the adage "first 5, last five," pretty well, at least in the first half. We scored on a corner a minute into the match—then we scored 2 more in the last 2-3 minutes of the half, to go into halftime leading 3-0.

Senior Mass might have zapped our seniors just a bit. We were not at our best tonight. But we got solid enough performances to grab the EKL win.

Kate Kutey made her varsity debut tonight, giving us 30 good minutes in the second half at both left back and centerback.  And Gabi Cox cashed her first varsity goal from the field (she did score earlier in a PK shootout), collecting a great pass from Janky to Heying to her, before putting on a nice move to go by the keeper, before finishing the shot.

Mallory Heying collected a hat trick in assists tonight, pushing her team-leading assist total to 11.

We only have one regular season match left—Monday at Miege.

We are now 8-7-0.
